Gas connection
Read these points before connecting to the gas supply:
• The appliance is preset for natural gas use, if LPG is
to be used see Conversion to LPG section.
• Gas installation must be made in accordance with AS/
NZS5601.1, the local gas fitting regulations, municipal
codes and other statutory regulations.
• The gas connection point is a ½” BSP external thread
located at the rear of the appliance as shown.
• The regulator is to be fitted to the manifold inlet at
the rear of the appliance and the connectionis sealed
using a tape or jointing compound suitable for gas
connections. The consumer piping is then connected to
the inlet of the regulator, either
1. directly, or
2. using a hose assembly and in accordance
with Clause 6.10.1.9 of AS 560101 (High level
connection) together with the supplied elbow.
The elbow is fitted to the inlet of the regulator
and oriented to allow the hose to hang
downward. The connection thread between the
regulator and elbow is sealed using a tape or
jointing compound suitable for gas connections.
